new form of weight loss?

my friend D had an interesting post (well, actually all of his posts are pretty thought provoking) on his blog regarding a man who lost weight with the new nintendo wii setup. check it out here. the very first time i heard about the wii was on southpark. the day following the wii episode, i heard a discussion on npr about the wii vs the new playstation, and i found out it was actually a real thing. i thought the wii was something the southpark boys had made up. anyway, i think it's a fabulous move on the part of the video game creators. finally there's a way to play the games that forces one to move around instead of sitting on the couch. it's a great way to tackle the nation's obesity.
